Was going to post today to mark a win and then I saw @BethB and @T3hPwnisher discussion something very similar.
My 16 year old daughter has not eaten breakfast in about 3/4 years, I can’t remember exactly when but she’s always point blank refused and said she feels sick when she eats breakfast (I never forced the issue as she eats outside of breakfast and is a healthy weight). She came in to my bedroom this morning to tell me she had breakfast - scrambled eggs!
She’s been making an effort to cut sugar and processed foods and has taken to eating my eggs and greek yogurt, she’s also started eating more fruit, I’m delighted that my grocery bill is increasing, that’s a bill I’m happy to cover.
We were struggling for time on Tuesday and my wife and myself had to go out, and so we did freezer food, my daughter was legit annoyed at eating it because she’d made such an effort.
Got to tread carefully and make sure she doesn’t get to wrapped up in it all, but just having her eat breakfast and switch up snacks from processed crap to solid alternatives is awesome. I’ve not said a word, just modelled the behaviour - great to see it catch.
